BLOODHOUND Project

ReAgent is proud to be a product sponsor of the BLOODHOUND Project which aims to push the boundaries of science and engineering and break the world land speed record by building a car that can drive at speeds of 1,000mph.

The 135,000 horsepower vehicle represents a mix of automotive and aviation technologies coming together to create something truly extraordinary – 7.5 tonne a super-sonic car that can travel faster than a speeding bullet (literally!). It is hoped that this exciting, globe-spanning project will inspire the next generation of scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians.

The record attempt will take place in at the Hakskeen Pan in South Africa – a vast, flat, hard desert offering the perfect conditions for this ambitious record attempt. Before that, a slow run will take place in 2015 which aims to hit a mere 800mph (a record breaking speed in itself!) with the full speed run happening a year later.
